STONES REMEDY.Our new house ! What a world olloving and joyful anticipation dependfrom that little phrase I How well itBounded on Harry line's lips when heBaid it again an again to pretty MollyBrown ! And she would blush sometimes, and puzzle her wise little headwith her prospective housekeeping arrangements like any nest-buildingbird i i tho spring. It wasnot to bo a pretentious cdiliecas houses go; neither is a bird' nestlarge, though there is untold Hutteriug over it; but it stood on a pleasant lawn, such as almost keep themselves in a country village A few t.dltrees were abo close by. Molly, as soonas she had dismissed her school, stoppedevery day to look after the roses andcurrant bnshos and sage plants, andmany things, both useful and ornamental, which grew up aa if by magicin the garden and on every side of herfuture home. And it always happenedthat Harry, who was tho handsomestand blithest carpenter in all that region,contrived to sec tho teacher whethor hewas working on this side of thehouse or on that, and sliding downfrom roof or staging, or leaping fromveranda or window, was suro to meether before sho had passed tho lilacbushes which stood hard by tho gateway. " Molly, dear, wheu will that blessedBchool of yours bo done?""Not these ten weeks," 6aid Molly,laughing. 'J You know 'tis scarcely bogun." "Well, just a fortnight after yougive up that pedagoguo business thelast nail will bo driven in this magnificent dove-cote; then two months foipreparing, painting and most excellentdrying, and then, Molly dear."The teacher blushed and smiled, andnone tho less when a quick kiss touchedher round cheek but it was no harm,for they were already iu tho house." Yes, then you'll have those towelsand tablo-cloths in apple-pie order; andthat avalanche of chintz stretched overthe easiest chairs and sofas you eveirested on.""What a deal of work it will be,"said Molly, quito anxiously."And what a deal of comfort," retorted Harry; "and how nico it willlook when it is done ; tho pink and redflowers for tho parlor, the blue for thesitting-room, and tho green and whitefor the bedrooms, and the kitchenwell, I boliovo wo won't sit down thereat oil.""And what is this room for?" inquired Molly, discovering a wing whichhad been thrown out, forming an apartmont that opened from the sitting-roomand upon tho veranda."On purpose for yon," said Harry,"to bo your study, or sewing-room, orsanctum, or what you will, only I begpermission to pay you a visit onco in awhile. Just look at this bay window.What a rare place for you and mo oninmmor evenings."Molly put her littlo baud on heilover's arm, and said her thanks soBwootly that ho was halt' tempted togivohis house as many wings as a windmill,just to have tho sccno repeated."Now, Molly, dear, you'll havo touse another piece of chintz for thatwindow-stat and the arm-chairB. Hutthe china closot; come and see if thoBhelvcs suit you!"At this instant thero was a great rattling of loose boards upon tho floor,nud a very musical voico called " CousinHarry " with bewitching impatience."Where aro you? What iu theworld ore you doiug here ? 'Tisn't veryhospitable to let visitors break theirnecks finding their host. Why, what isit, Cousin Harry, going to set up boh(lor'a hall without sending pit word?""I guess so, Clara," foid Harry,laughing, but not quite ut his oase, forho stood somewhat in awe of his dashingcousin. " I intended to send for yonwheu tho cottage should be finished.It iB not, as you perceive, n convenientplace for visitors as it ifi.""Hut it seems you have tln ni, notwithstanding," Baid Clara, os she espied his companion, wliom InO grsotodas an old acquaintance, "(lot ited asyou aro, you cannot build a house without calling in a woman to hold a consultion with over nooks on 1 corners. Youshould have sent for me, who knew allthese things instiuctively. I was borna carpenter, only, unfortunately, awoman; but Molly hore, wise teocher asshe is, can't do the least thing withniches and uncles, partitions and stuircasos, until they are all demonstrated toher understanding by being finishedpast alteration.""So much the better," retortedHarry. "I cau havo it all my own way,and that I could never got from you.""And never shall," returned Clara,glancing at tho little bird of a teacher,who on her part did not look altogether satislied. " Come, CousinHarry, aunty says you must be at homeearly, sine you have company, so setyour things to rights and go now withme."T e girls stood wailing for the youngcarpenter."How vexatious Harry i ," saidClara. " Wo have planned hours together, ever since wo were tho merestchildren, and now it is downright provoking that ho should commence building without so much as acquainting mewitli his intentions. I he. rd he was atwork here, but never supposed it wasfor himself until two days ago, and Ihave come up just to havo a hand in thebusiness. Old times give me a prettyfair right to do bo, any one might! allow."Clara paused to survey tho grounds,with a lofty air of proprietorship, andpatted her foot to tho humming of aprima donna waltz. Poor Molly couldhardly keep back her tears or maintainher dignity by an assumed indifference,1 or still worse, think of something toj say that should relieve a sib nee which,to one at bast, was embarrassing, butfinally sho ventured tho fortunate relative arrangement of tho trees, which, asthey wero twenty years t Id, mightsafely be approved without a suspicionof conceit or vanity."They are well enough to be sure,"replied Clara. "lint what an idea toplant that thicket of roses and what notbesides so near the house a regularhole for toads and brooding hens toMy nothing of the garden coming so farin front. Cabbages in sight of the parlor windows.'"" No, the flowers will screen them,"said Molly, trying to laugh."Maybe the cabbages, but nothing-hot ter than sunflowers and hollyhocksBSD hide the bean poles. Plainly, Ihall give Harry a looiuro on taste, andhave the whole affair Bwopt farther back.We used to arrango our establishment 8in a rather more stylish manner."Molly could not imagine who shouldhave a better tight.to locate tho gardenthan herself, with hor lover's approval,and sho very naturally indulged a positive mental vindication of tho beautyof flowering bean vinos, and oftho convenience and economy of alarge patch of cultivated ground.However, Clara did not lecture hercousin as they all went down street together, but told him about the newmusic which she had brought up, justsuited to his melodeon, and that ho mustOnd his flute and they must practicethat evening ; and asked him if FarmerDoano still kept Snow White, thatwonder among saddlo horses, and if thosweet flag yet grew down iu tho mexdow,and if ho knew that sho was a proficient in leather work, and was readyto frame senio of his handsome engravings so ho would help her about thopainting and varnishing. And thus sherattled on, with her rjniolt, gentle voice,and the facinuting play of her glovedhands, j it - leaving spaces for Harry'sreplies, but scarcely an opportunity forMolly to put in a word edgewise. Ofcourso tho poor littlo teacher could notshino had that been hor forte. Harrydid not go round tho corner to Mr.brown's gato as was his habit, becauseClara was impatient to got her bonnotoff, and Molly said it was no matter."Come over and soo us to-night,"said Harry.Mclly made a hositating reply, sayingneither this nor that." Not if I will go for you ?" persistedHarry." 'Tis no way to urgo a lady beyondher convenience ; wo don't like it, dowe, Molly ?" exclaimed Clara, slippingher hand into hor cousin's arm. "Butif you will stay at home, then Harryond I will call upon yon; but not to.night, however, for we must hovo thomusic lessons."Molly leaned on tho gate nud watchedthe cousins slowly going along tho rural stroot, as they twico or thrice appeared through sonto distant aport tireiu the foliage, and then, without a lookat her pansies or canaries, went hoavilyto her chamber, and, oblivious of ascore of pleasant little duties, such aswere wont to beguilo hor time untilHarry came iu tho evening, sat down tohor vory dubious cogitations. Sho hadalways found a rival iu Clara wheneverthat young lady made her appearance,which was not infrequently ; and when,six months before, Horry Lane, thovery prince and pearl of villago swains,declared that she, his own Molly, wasdearer to him than all the world boside,she bail wondered if Cousin Clara wasconsciously and specifically included aso part and parcel of tho depreciatedorb. But Harry had proved the mostdevoted of lovers, ond Claro, strangelyenough, had kept herself out of theplay.Molly was happy in hor completeatisfoction, and that old tiresomojealousy was quite driven away, and sho jhod almont forgotten that it had everexisted, until it mado its untimely appearance, rattling and criticising w ithinthe sacred iuclob'ire of tho now house.And Harry was so easily amused withit, and fed it with the light of his handsoilie smiles and gallant expression-,i and very poorly defended his lictrothed, from its encroachments. Molly luokodout ujKin the lovely summer landscapeand evening htaveus with moist cyos,and with some despairing thoughtsupon the pruetical bcariugs of her circumstances Sho was as pretty as MissClara any day, and could sing and talkas well, but she was no match with heiin imjK'rtinonco, nor, a-lack-a dtiy, inbet wardrobe just then, for sho hadbeen econoiuizi g against the welding,and in favor of coming household aggrandizement, aud who could haveforetold that sho must noeds enter theI lists again with the showy cousin inrespect of ribbons and flounces?Clara's new dress did look well, thenwas no denying that, aud Molly's lastyear's bonnet aud lawn wero most indisputably flimsy.If Molly did not think allthis on that evening, sho hadsufficient leisure to do so on thefollowing days. Clara seemod totallyto ignore her cousin's engagement, andexhibited a tact in monopolizing his attentions which would have been veryentertaining had it not been so cruel.Sho must of necessity protract heimorning ride till after nine o'clock, sothat Molly was forced to remain behind;and sho contrived with marvelous invention to find some reason for commencing her evening walks a half hourtoo early for tho teacher's convenience.Then if other arts failed, ,she couldeasily manage by a piece of ambiguouspoliteness, just flavored with a dash ofinsolence, to induce Molly to declineinvitations and questionable advaucos.And Harry all this while? Clara1 averred aloud and often that Molly, the; good eoul, didn't mind, and Harryechoed silently tho comforting declar-: ation whenever it was necessary to hushany littlo whisperings that coasciencemight insinuate to tho contrary. And, bew ildered by Clara's increasing play ofwit and fascination, ho had rapidlydrifted away from his old moorings, andperhaps yielded to his inclinations. when he allowed himself to be guided- by her influence. And Molly, with thecustomary bad policy of slighted bcau-! ties, doffed tho witchery of her smilesand winning speeches, assuming a repelling and an almost defiant air, andthus unwittingly resigned the wholefield to her rival.As all this happened in a communityof excellent persons, not behind anyother rural district in active, mutualsympathy and neighborly sentiment,there was plenty of speculation abroadrespecting it. A trio of individualsbeing immediately concerned, therewero at least three sides to the question,and old grudges and whims and predilections rapidly marshaled tho goodpeople into their respective parties, audthe clamor of tongues soon grew " fastand furious," reaching all oars but thosewitli which it had most to do.Molly was bo certain that her woeshad been unobserved" that she was completely surprised one evening by anevent that gavo a new direction to hercontemplations. Sho had sent awayher scholars and was mournfully leavingtho schoolhouse, expecting one of thosedreary, solitary evenings at home, whenshe came into collision upon tho threshold with no loss a personage than Dr.Stone."I am not a shadow that you shouldthink to walk through mo in this fashion, Miss Brown."Molly proffered a hasty apology to thosmiling, substantial gentleman beforehor, who, for a bachelor of forty-live,possossed a vory portly and comfortabloaspect." If yon have leisure, Miss Brown," hecontinued, "ploaso walk up the streetwith mo. I wish to confer with youconcerning a littlo business."Tho doctor was the school committee."There," thought Molly, almost crying, " I supposo that my, school hasbeen growing wrong with all the rost,and now I must listen to certain animadversions on my stupidity. Hemight hovo chosen a more retired placeto read mo a lecture"But thore was not a particle of ro-will got the delirium ont of his hea lBis heart is all right yet, I'll answer forthat."Molly drew herself up with an air ofoffended dignity, and stammered somo- 'thing about there lieiug no occasionsho was satisfied, and ncbody elecneed"Tut, tut!" said Dr. Stout, "1 havedeliberately undortaken to serve her,and I shall not be deterred except byvery clear and emphatic reasons. There !is no sense in letting Harry go on so. !That wild and unprincipled girl, Claralivans, is doing her best to draw her netover him. She is playing a high gameami may win. Such a thing is possible,and it will avail neither him nor youanything if he finds he ha . been mistaken when it is too late."Hero tho doctor paused, aul lookedso long and pensively down upon thegrassy path that Molly was convincedthat the popular suspicion which hadattached itself to his previous history,and which affected to account for hisprotracted celibacy, was not wholly un-authorized. Her heart suddenly openedto him when sho thought it not unlikelythat he had been tho victim of such artsS3 were destroying her peace."I om older than you ore, Molly," he jroutinued, "and have seen more of ilife, and therefore my advice may claimyour attention. As I said, nothiug else !than a tit of jealousy will give HarryMl wits again. Let him see that there jis a chaucoof losing you, ond his flashing cousin may go homo again very 1suddenly. I'll wager he hasn't said a jword to you about the picnic, ond thereisn't o girl who hasn't received her invitation three days ago. Miss Clarawill tell him it is sufficient just to letyou have time to put your bonnet ou ,and that's all the ceremony they'll standupon."Molly burst into tears."Tut, tnt! I don't love to see littlogirls cry; so wipe your eyes, and we'llspeedily sot the tide tho other way. Ihaven't been with the young peoplethese many years, but with an excellentobject in view I am happy to departfrom my usual custom, and if you wdlaccept a conceited old beau like myselfI'll take you down to Green Valley onSaturday with my fleetost horse, andwe'll make quite an impression.""What Will people say?" inquiredMolly, but half persuaded." What we wisb to have them say ishat you havo given Harry tho go-by,and that I intend to settle down likeot cr sensible gentlemeu, and all thatsort of thing. You are a girl of spiritMolly, and I'll wager if you'll twist jyour curls anew, and put on the pretty jand into a snug, blown house, wheredwelt DM of her cteemod conquers.Aunt Silly was as good as her wordSho did not make th doctor's secretpublic, but this unexpected and startling revolution in affairs was discussed,tub rosa, in not less than dozenplaces loforo the evening bell.Upon the morrow Harry Lane's earwere as-ailed by strange intelligence.The rumor wan confirmed by innuendcand jest from every idlo neighbor whecame along, and, as the forenoon woreaway, began to assume to his comprehension a very definite and pnrtcntonaspect. Tho doctor had wealth andreputation, and was in the prime of life.Harry drove nails and spikes right andleft. Molly w.ib as good and beautifulas an angel. Harry plaued a panel tillhe could see through it. Such considerations and destruction wero unendurable. Tho young carpenter mado aneat toilot and was at the schoolpromptly at four. But his rival'steed was pawing the earth closo by theentrance. As soon as Harry could makehis way through the noisy, dispersingchildren, ho entered tho schoolroom.There he found Molly pouring over hoidesk, aud tho doctor beside her, saying,heaven knows what, to call up suchsmiles ami blushes. If they had seenHarry coming they could not havo tormented him more. For once in his lifeHarry felt awkward. His first impulsewas to knock tho doctor to the floor,the next to snatch Molly away aud runfor it ; but not quite clear about performing any rash exploit he stood irresolute, hesitating and a littlo foolish."How are yon, Lane?" exclaimedtho doctor, as he helped thoteach.u- putaway hor books and papers. "Allready for the sport to -morrow, I daresay? Let mo lay your shawl on, Missbrown ; wo haven't any time to spendhere."" Where can they be going ?" thoughtHarry, as Molly prepared to leave withDr. Stone. Matters looked desperate,and he made a plunge."Molly," said he, "I shall call foryou early to-morrow morning. Weshall want to be on tho ground in goodseason."Molly laughed and shook her wickodcurls."I am so happy as to havo securedtho companionship of Miss Brown feumy own drive to Green Valley," remarked tho doctor with exceeding complacency. " But really, I shall not allow you to jest with njy lady in thismanner. Of course you could not expect to obtain tho belle of tho villageby such a lardy invitation."Dr. Stone conducted Molly to thechaise and gently put her in with a protective manner which made Harry clenchII S II i j j s . i KO' utUUO ga, iU5TOBEH PICKENS,i l.veland, Tenn.H1).

The tears came into hereyes, aud sho was much distrossed."I do not wisli to trouble you," sirdthe doctor, kindly, "and if you willpardon the very great liberty I awabout to toke, I think I can rendor youan important service.

Mrs. Browntold him it would not be worth hiswhile to wait. Harry sought his chamber in a most melancholy mood andpassed a sleepless night in denouncinghis folly and Cousin Clara, aud in estimating the advantages and prohabil i tiin favor of Dr. Stone.Saturday come, and tho oak grovo atGroen Valley rung with sport and merriment. Of all tho fair forms that flittedhere and thero over the sunny slopos,down by the brookside or up among theflowery hoelges, Molly Brown was thomost brilliant and joyous. Hor snowydress glanced, her ringlets shook off thelight, and her sweet voico mado gladness everywhere. Dr. Stone was cvorat he r side, aud by his genial humor andinexhaustible fun woke moro laughteramong tho restless groups who attendedhim than tho echoes at Groen Valloycvor before heard. Clara Evans wascompletely eclipsed, andllarry was dimand doleful. He had scarcely been abloto spook to Molly during tho long,weary day, and to see hor thus was notat all consoling or inspiriting.As night drow near, and tho youngpeople wore about returning, thero wasa new arrival ujon tho ground. Achronic patient of Dr. Stono's hudfound him out, ond with much amazement solicited a brief consultation. Itso happened that as tho party wasbroken up and scattered in various directions to prepare for the coming ride,Molly was left alono. Harry drow nearwith troublo in his eye"What has happened, Molly dear,that wo should bo hero as wo aro today?"Molly laughed according to dircc-OOUTae we shall have peoplo talkingfast enough an 1 Harry at your feet before day after to-morrow night."Tho picture was bo pleasant thatMclly laughed involuntarily."Now bo a littlo stiff, Mollie," saidtho doctor when they parted; "don'tyield at once, and I'll wager that weshall not need to givo your Harry another lesson. I'll manago it for you."At the next turn Dr. Stone fell inwith Aunt Goodeuough, an excellent oldlady who came hobbling along in herbig bonnet and spectacles. After passing diffuse compliments and discoursing with considerable prolixity upon theweather and tho rheumatism withcognate ills, Aunt Sally proceoded toremark :"Well, doctor, I oxpect if wo wasyoung wo should be going to the picnicalong with the boys and girls."Dr. Stono plainly winced."Young, do yon Boy? I om sureI never was moro vigorous than I am atprcsont. I don't think you ever saw agray hair in my head" (Aunt Sally hadbeen purblind lor years). "Young indeed 1 There isn't a fresher, gayoryoung man in these parts. I think Ihavo dono myself injustico in allowingtho gravo cares of businoss to force mointo undue sobriety, and I have determined to assumo my proper character,and shall begin by going to tho picnicwith tho rost."A smile of intense astonishment brokeover tho bonovolent countenance ofAunt Sally, and an additional pointpainfully stimulated hor curiosity.Oh, la, now, 1 aiwavs said youhow he supposed she should bo aide toget home.We should bo glad to givo the con-elusion in minute detail, but can onlysay that Harry went to see Molly in lessthan an hour after Dr. Stone had loftMr. brown's residence. What was said, 1what penitence, forgiveness and tearshealed all wounds and blotted out alloffenses, must Iks left to conjecture. It jis only known that Harry went tochurch next day with Molly on his arm,and that he Bat beside her during thotwo sen-ices. Aunt Sally Goodeuoughwas sorely perplexed, and scarcely tookher eyes off tho unconscious eloctor,who devoutly listened to tho sermon asif there had never been a Molly Brownor a picnic in the universe. ClaraEvans loft the villago during tho week,so that the beans and r ises had achance to grow in peaco.In tho autumn there was a joyfulwedding, and tho brilliant lights shonefar from Harry's windows to illumine thepathway of tho many approachingguests to tho subsequent merry-making.Dr. Stono camo and found tho bridalcouple in Molly's pretty room." Ah, Lano," said ho, " I was verynear getting your bird from you, andthen what would you havo dono withyonr cage ?"The handsome Harry tossed back hisheavy curls, and laughing as ho drowMolly near to him, exclaimed :"A perpetual truce with you, doctor, 1concerning that abominable picnic IYou see that I havo my bride safolywithin our owu now home."ITEMS OF INTEREST.Dramatic authors arc well paid in the jlong run.
